Engine Calibration Methodology Engineer (Model-Based)

Stellantis NV; Auburn Hills (MI); On-site; USD 70,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

Stellantis NV is seeking an Engine Calibration Engineer in Auburn Hills, MI to support development, validation, and continuous improvement of calibration methods across ICE, xHEV, and BEV applications.

The role emphasizes methodology documentation, data analysis, and collaboration with CoE, Controls, Emissions, and validation teams to improve repeatability, quality, and emissions readiness.

Qualifications

• BS in Engineering.
• Experience in engine system development, calibration, controls, model-based or physics-based modeling preferred.
• Prior experience in base engine dyno calibration on boosted/TJI engines.
• Knowledge of ICE subsystems: combustion, valvetrain, fuel system, boost, EGR, aftertreatment.
• Data acquisition experience collecting, processing, and organizing dyno, vehicle, HIL, or virtual test data.
• Working knowledge of engine analysis/calibration tools, emissions development, and engine technologies.
• Basic proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink to support model-based analysis and calibration methodology.
• Good teamwork and independent-work skills; effective communication and clear documentation habits.

Responsibilities

• Support gasoline base calibration methodology (torque model, spark, knock, combustion, airflow, fuel, boost, VVT, EGR, idle, startability) plus SS Emissions, Off-Nominal, and Transient calibration.
• Support release-readiness checklists, dataset maturity evidence, and organized documentation for calibration freeze and program milestones.
• Support model-based/physics-based methods by documenting inputs, assumptions, limitations, and validation evidence; assist building/improving virtual models.
• Support correlation of vehicle, dyno, HIL/SIL/MIL, and virtual datasets to identify simulation-to-physical gaps.
• Use MATLAB, Simulink, ETAS INCA, MDA, dSPACE Automation, and ControlDesk to support data analysis and methodology work.
• Support structured root-cause analysis, data summaries, and lessons-learned capture for calibration issue resolution.
• Support validation/test planning (dyno, vehicle, HIL/SIL/MIL, virtual) and calibration maturity/readiness assessments.
• Collaborate with CoE, Controls, Emissions, Validation, and application calibration teams; help document and improve methodology and best practices.
